Yes, hard times have fallen on dear old Betty Boop. Kicked out of their Hollywood bungalow by longtime companion Koko the Clown, Ms Boop has taken to serving chicken wings at the world's most tasteful owl-themed restaurant franchise. Good luck Betty!
The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane is one of those wonderful books that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. It tells the whimsical story of Simon and Jack who go through a fantastic journey in their search for fun. Along the way they meet malicious birds and a sentimental cloud named Perch who takes them for a wild ride among storm clouds. Between Crane's seemingly simple linework and the gorgeous production values of the book, I don't expect it to stick around very long. Perfect for fans of Goodbye Chunky Rice or the work of Walt Holcombe. This one's a keeper and gets an A rating from me. If you like The Clouds Above we'll also soon be getting Crane's long out of print The Last Lonely Saturday back in stock at Hijinx thanks to a wherehouse find at Fantagraphics.
